Weather vanes, wind vanes, weathercocks - whatever you like to call them, I find them a fascinating detail on buildings that sadly seems to be ignored by architects and builders these days - although it's still nice to know where the wind blows from.

So I'll post a few I like, and hope you'll join in!

It's on top of a water tower - the flats for students were added later.

You have certainly got an extraordinarily large cock there, Nic!
The cellular phone people are certainly paying some rental fees judging by the number of antennas on and around that tower - I have designed, planned and implemented a few cell phone sites like that.
I would feel a bit uneasy living under that tank if it was full of water.-?

Nice shots, Garry - were they taken in UK or in foreign climes?
